2. comments on original idea( not all are enabled)
3. short for weblog. a journal that is continual series of posts that is not static. sequential not interactive. series of entries. wiki is a static page that is contributed to all at once. Wiki is edited together. blog can be edited only by origianl poster. Use separated. Wiki..good for group project. Blogs for introspective writing and press release and announcement.
4. Last thing that sets it apart is RSS Feed Rich site sendication. Means you can subscribe to the website and get notifications of updated. Like the PO..if you have to go to PO to get new magazine, so PO delivers to our house. RSS feed does same thing, It collects all new things posted and code sends to others.
